You’re not supposed to want the one who torments you.
When my stepbrother, Elec, came to live with us my senior year, I wasn’t prepared for how much of a jerk he’d be.
I hated that he took it out on me because he didn’t want to be here.
I hated that he brought girls from our high school back to his room.
But what I hated the most was the unwanted way my body reacted to him.
At first, I thought all he had going for him were his rock-hard tattooed abs and chiseled face. But things started changing between us, and it all came to a head one night.
Then, just as quickly as he’d come into my life, he was gone back to California.
It had been years since I’d seen Elec.
When tragedy struck our family, I’d have to face him again.
And holy hell, the teenager who made me crazy was now a man that drove me insane.
I had a feeling my heart was about to get broken again.

What can I say. I came across this by accident, and bloody hell I'm so glad I did because I enjoyed it from the word go.
Neither main characters are blood related, so let's get that cleared up. I was unsure about it at first, I mean, I have step brothers and sisters, and I'd ever look at them the way Greta looks at Elec. I mean, look, even their names are unusual.
There relationship was a rocky one. You know the saying your mom used to say when a boy picked on you? ''It means he likes you'' well that was certainly the case with this book. I could tell straight off he did, and although he was a cocky, arrogant, nasty little shit at times, I still fell for him the same way Greta did.
My heart also broke whenever hers did. It couldn't be stopped it was that emotional.
It also has anagrams in it, and bloody hell they had me in stitches. Here is one that had me laughing the most.
"Always Liquor before you poker" (They were at a casino) dirty meaning: "Always lick her before you poke her"
Loved it. Loved both characters. I liked the novel had intense situations, humorous situations and excellent writing.
Then we have the ending...(No spoilers) was amazing. I didn't know what to do. Cry, laugh, swoon, so in stead I did all three. Yes, all three.
